October's Full Moon (and Supermoon) in tropical Aries frees us from the shadowy depths of eclipse season, representing a powerful break with the past. In fire sign Aries, and with Mars in its ruling sign Scorpio, this Full Moon can catalyze more directness and assertiveness, which can help establish clearer boundaries and make progress toward objectives.

As October hangs in the balance between eclipses and an impending Mercury retrograde cycle in November, this is a time in which we'll have more direction and influence, so October is a month for making some vital headway. Also, as a Full Moon, the effects and reverberations of past actions and efforts can manifest strongly here, mainly involving past collaborations or relationships.

The tension in this Full Moon lies in the strong sense of purpose that it can ignite, which can conflict with more immediate or personal interests. There is a transpersonal pull here, reflected in the rough yod formation created between the Moon, Venus/North Node, and Mars. Additionally, the Sun in Libra's pull is also present, revealing the balance and tension between personal and collaborative interests.

This energy is less about achieving personal fulfillment and more about submitting our will to a higher order or a more complex social need. Still, there is something in this Full Moon that ignites or excites our passion and willingness to more seriously accept or pursue a personal (or transpersonal) purpose.
